use a NON-iodized salt. for some reason the kitties do not like iodized salt. here is the best way to do it. take a coffee can and put a layer about 1/2 in thick of NON-iodized salt in the bottom. put a layer of chicken livers on top, then another layer of salt. repeat until you have what you want or the can fills up. also, if you add a hefty amount of garlic powder, it will enhance it exponentially. you can then stick it in the fridge and they will toughten up to the consistency of leather in about a week or so. this is a great trick and will help alot. i have also toughened them up by putting them in the microwave for 30 seconds. any longer and they will just cook.

ive tried freezing them in ice cube trays but they always turn into slim after a while. ive also tried using pieces of pany hose but i end up losing a hook because cant get it off. ive tried using the fake chicken liver from walmart but catfish dont seem to hit it. so i hope this will remedy my problem ive had for 22 years. ill be tring this out this summer. thanks

I knew there had to be a logical way this worked! Kosher salt and garlic powder, I must give this one a shot! I am getting tired of watching the liver go one way and the hook go the other. And I know I'm not the only angler who experiences this! Thanks!
